The French Fartiste Who Ruled the Moulin Rouge and the Robotic Pooping Duck


Listen Later

In the late 1800s, Joseph Pujol took Paris by storm and ruled the Moulin Rouge. Known as Le Petomane, his entire act was performed with his anus. The man was a true fartiste. Keeping in theme, this episode will also introduce you to an 18th-century pooping duck automaton. Both are tales of rather unusual forms of genius.
